The article discusses the concept of the hidden curriculum in terms of its institutional and communicative aspects. It deals with the reasons for the sustainability of gender stereotypes in the communicative environment of the university. The main mechanism of reproducing gender stereotypes and values is believed to be the social context of an educational organization. It is characterized by a level of teacher’s communicative competence. The article analyzes the characteristics of teacher’s verbal and non-verbal behavior and their impacts on the processes of gender socialization and identification of modern students. The transformation of gender relations is seen as an objective and global process caused by progressive socio-economic changes, whose influence on education requires careful analysis.

Gender education is a major problem in Albanian schools at all levels. The proposed paper examines how various gender issues, are treated in the textbooks. Text analysis from a gender perspective, is used as method to determine the presence and treatment of gender issues in various textbooks. Admittedly, textbooks continue to play a crucial role as the basic instrument of education. Text analysis includes: text illustrations, gender stereotypes and prejudices, gender authority and leadership. On the other hand, this study, will focus on the important role of teachers which with their formation and personality, have a direct impact on students. The paper argues that every teacher should select those methods, which encourage discussion and reflection of gender situations, adapted to the cultural level and age of students. Teachers, along with textbooks should fulfill better the noble mission of education, of spiritual emancipation, material progress and the social development of students as social individuals.

This paper presents a six-week telecollaborative project carried out between B2 (Common European Framework of Reference for languages – CEFR) level learners of English from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), Spain, and B1 (CEFR) level students of Spanish as a foreign language from the University of Bath (UK). The aim of the project was to help Spanish-speaking students develop their Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC). Students carried out asynchronous discussions focusing on two cultural topics in groups of four through the social network MeWe and participated in synchronous Zoom sessions in pairs. To conclude the project, students completed a collaborative task with their overseas partners. Qualitative data was gathered through the analysis of the transcripts of the Zoom sessions, the students’ posts on MeWe, as well as a final project questionnaire. Results revealed that the students who engaged the most in the synchronous sessions and felt curiosity about their partners’ culture were also the same ones who contributed the most to the cultural discussions on MeWe. At the end of the course all participants felt they had learnt something about their partners’ culture.

Two areas of biblical study identified as ‘growth points’ are the sociological and narrative approaches to early Christianity and its literature. Although these two approaches may be the offspring of different departments within the university, they are intricately related: narratives relate to a social context to the extent that they reinforce or subvert socio-perspectives. This project explores the interface of the two, examining one aspect of the narrative of the Fourth Gospel and considering ways in which it might have functioned within the social context of Johannine Christianity. While some literary critics draw high walls around a text to contain the ‘text world’ and keep it from outside contamination, others work on the basis that narratives are often referential, pointing to other narratives and building their own storyline in relation to them in some fashion. The latter approach is the one taken here, as certain points in the Johannine storyline are considered in relation to two important stories within early Christian tradition and within Judaism. The starting-point for this investigation is the feeding miracle in John 6.

Psychological Inventory

El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar los factores de dureza mental y contexto social que contribuyen al éxito deportivo según la posición de jugadores universitarios de balonmano. Participaron 212 jugadores de equipos representativos. Para evaluar la dureza mental se aplicó el Inventario Psicológico de Ejecución Deportiva (IPED) y la contribución del contexto social se evaluó mediante el Cuestionario sobre la Percepción de los Factores Relacionados con la Excelencia en el Deporte (PFED). Los análisis mostraron que la dureza mental interpretada a través del control atencional muestra diferencias por posiciones (K = 14,21; p < 0,05), los laterales presentan puntuaciones superiores respecto a porteros, pivotes, centrales y extremos (p < 0,05). Respecto al contexto social, se obtuvieron diferencias entre posiciones de juego. Para los laterales, el factor de mayor contribución a su excelencia deportiva son sus propias habilidades (K = 11,08; p < 0,05), mientras que para porteros es la naturaleza del entrenamiento (K = 10,08; p < 0,05). Se concluye que las características psicosociales son diferentes en función de la posición de juego del jugador universitario de balonmano. El entrenador, la familia, la naturaleza y características del entrenamiento son los factores que más contribuyen al éxito deportivo y a su vez incrementan la autoconfianza del jugador.

The marginal Old French translation in a codex kept on Mount Athos, Iviron ? 463, is a remarkably precise translation of the Greek main text, the abridged version of the romance- hagiography Barlaam and Josaphat. Now and then, however, minor spelling mistakes and mistranslations are part of the text, nevertheless, with more careful analysis, these do not appear to be mistakes at all. In this study, examples for such instances are discussed: the author of the paper lists transcriptions/readings which are different from the Greek original and seem to be mistakes at first glance, but the translator?s deliberate intent can be assumed in the mentioned cases, and therefore, they can provide valuable data about the social and cultural background of the unknown translator of the Iviron-manuscript and about the historical and social context of the translation.

Social Importance

We believe that universities have a social responsibility, mainly the private ones, considered as enterprises. Thus it is necessary to make a distinction between the social responsibility of the university and the social responsibility in the university, once it would hardly be effective to make this contribution without teaching such concepts to the students. This article intends to moot some questions concerning the social responsibility in the university and the social importance of the professional-citizenship formation, paralleling it with the reflection upon the future professionals, course managers and teachers concerning their inherent responsibilities, in a social context that hardly benefits this practice.

Abstract Professional Identify Formation is regarded as fundamental to medical education. It involves a process of socialisation where knowledge is often acquired unconsciously via social interaction. Concrete teachings to support and mediate this socialisation process are difficult to implement, because of the implicit nature of the transferred knowledge. Before effective reflection can start, the implicit knowledge has to become explicit. The authors argue that training based on the Systemic Constellation method may be a promising way to support Professional Identify Formation among medical students, by increasing students’ awareness of their own socialisation process and the implicit knowledge that they have acquired. By visualising their social context with a group of students, the method is effective in making explicit the social context and the values, beliefs, perspectives that are present. This creates the possibility to discuss these values, beliefs, perspectives and explore differences, and stimulates individual and group reflection. The method is already widely used in business settings, but not yet in the medical education setting. This article presents how this new training method was implemented in the undergraduate medical curriculum of the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, and discusses its feasibility, acceptance and perceived usefulness by medical students.
